2. Read the paragraph and highlight the words in the text that refer to the words in bold.

Cambridge, US is a unique community with a strong mix of cultural and social diversity and technological innovation. Its "Squares" are rich in various international restaurants and cafes as well as unique shopping, theatres, museums, and historic sites. Located between Harvard University and MIT, Central Square is the seat of City government and is home to a rich variety of music clubs, book shops, restaurants, etc. It ’s about a 12 minute walk from Kendall Square, which is the home to MIT and the heart of Massachusetts' high tech and biotechnology industries. The main site of the MIT is located along the left bank of the Charles River. This provides a wonderful view of the Boston area. Parking in Cambridge can be expensive and hard to find so use public transportation to get to the MIT campus. The Tech shuttle and Safe Ride shuttle provide free transportation around the MIT. But the latter runs only on weekdays.
